Internationally and nationally acclaimed, Toby Walker has been hailed as an award winning, roots music fingerstyle guitar virtuoso and songwriter who has toured the US, the UK, Canada and Europe. Blending the styles of blues, ragtime, country, bluegrass, old-time jazz and rock, Walker has developed his own style and as such, received numerous awards, including being the 1st place recipient of the International Blues Challenge Award in Memphis and the New York Music Award for best instrumental CD. Toby has also been inducted into the New York Blues Hall Of Fame.

Toby plays acoustic guitar with the virtuosity that captivates audiences and, along the way, he includes some amusing songs and great stories making for a great evening of entertainment with a capital E.

“Not only can Toby play all styles of the blues, but he’s a remarkable story-teller as well. And you’ll be surprised by what else he’ll pull out of his hat to please his audiences. He may come out with an arrangement of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ or ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ followed by an Irish fiddle tune medley (on guitar), a couple of rousing singalongs and top it all off with his arrangement of the Allman Brothers tune ‘Little Martha,’ ‘Whipping Post’ or even a traditional bluegrass tune. He takes the audience on one heck of a ride and leaves them smiling all the way home!” – John Sheridan, The London Sunday Times.
